| Message | Hoping that Darren does indeed read this himself, a real challenge and potential film "coup" for a producer/writer/director of his great talent and zeal for capturing the essence of both character and compelling story might be a true bio-film on the life of the shadowy genius Hungarian mathematician Erdos , who spent most years of his productive academic life "under the radar" of the ivory towers of the world, but closely connected at times to Einstein himself. Erdos roamed nomadically, living like traveling hobo genius, addicted to amphetamines(without which he would never even attempt serious mathematical thought,). generally paranoid, in and out of institutions with psychotic episodes. He would NEVER settle down to live and do work restrained by any setting. Einstein would somehow(something to be researched) arrange secret meetings with Erdos on public park benches near Princeton to ask for help with highly complicated equations and mathematical predictions connected to his broader research. I would love to see someone like Darren look into a project like this and somehow get the 'backing" to get it portrayed in serious film. Proud to be a native "Brooklynite" like Darren and first read "Last Exit..." around 1967. Kudos to him in his great success with The Wrestler. |
